Version 2
‘Twould take the words of all the world
to tell of love so true,
and take a cunning linguist
so my native tongue must do.
For there, with lips on moistened lips,
we’d feel our hearts beat faster,
then close we’d lie, like Gemini,
my Pollux to you Castor.
And you would turn the other cheek
and measure give for measure,
for of such love we cannot speak
when mouths are filled with pleasure.
